34: Little grass!

Ye Su's arrival caught the attention of that group of people.

However, everyone's gaze quickly shifted to Mo Xiaoyu.

There was no doubt about it.

To reach this place without being affected by the illusions, there was one hard requirement: the team had to have a Support Class Practitioner.

And this Support Class Practitioner had to possess purification abilities.

Currently, every Support Class Practitioner discovered worldwide was female.

Therefore—that girl had to be the Support Class Practitioner.

"Information comparison in progress; it's Ye Su from Suzhou-Hangzhou. In that case, the one beside him is Mo Xiaoyu, the only Support Class Practitioner in Suzhou-Hangzhou."

One person among the group spoke in a low voice.

Information comparison?

As expected, they had a signal.

Ye Su took a few more looks.

He saw someone carrying a small piece of equipment, while a fiber optic cable trailed off into the distance.

Now that was impressive.

Directly dragging a fiber optic cable in here.

So.

This was the elite military squad Zhang Hui had mentioned.

"Hello?"

Ye Su called out a greeting.

A young man from the group walked over and extended his hand;

"My name is Guan Li."

"Ye Su."

Ye Su reached out his hand.

Instantly, the blood Qi of both men surged.

This Guan Li's blood Qi level was definitely not inferior to Li Mingyuan's; he was a top-tier Professional from the military side.

Meanwhile, Guan Li was also inwardly impressed;

He truly lived up to being the man who defeated Li Mingyuan. His blood Qi volume might not be as vast as his own, but its surging momentum was fierce, like soldiers led by a general.

"Everyone is here for the mission." Guan Li didn't continue to test Ye Su's strength, letting go of his hand and saying;

"Let's just cooperate. The situation is a bit complicated right now."

Ye Su nodded and asked;

"What's the situation?"

Guan Li gestured for Ye Su to follow him.

This was a large karst cave chamber, with many branching paths leading off in all directions.

However, at the deepest part, the terrain dropped off like a cliff.

Stepping closer to look, he realized there was a precipice below.

There was light down there, likely from lanterns or flares thrown down by Guan Li and his team.

With the help of this faint light, Ye Su could see everything below clearly.

mycelium!

Endless mycelium.

The mycelium formed a kingdom below, almost completely coating everything.

However...

Bizarrely, a hole was left right in the center.

Looking down through this opening in the mycelium, one could see a vacuum zone free of mycelium.

In that vacuum zone, a single blade of grass swayed.

Even in the dim light, the leaves of the grass could be seen shimmering with a faint glow.

"Within three steps of a poison, the antidote must be found!"

Ye Su said;

"Is that what the mycelium fears? Does this mean we've found it?"

Guan Li nodded;

"We've found it, but a new problem has arisen. Under these circumstances, there's simply no way to retrieve it."

Indeed, the mycelium feared it and had left an opening.

But with this opening, who would dare to go down through it to pick that blade of grass?

With mycelium so dense, once those vines coiled up, it would mean certain death.

Guan Li continued;

"There are many karst caves like this in the Yunnan-Guizhou Region."

"We've discovered six caves that have this kind of grass."

"However, this is the only one that actually meets the conditions for retrieval. In the other five caves, there's almost no possibility of obtaining the grass."

"But even so, it's a daunting task."

"It's not that we're afraid of sacrifice; we're afraid that the grass will be destroyed by the mycelium in the process of being taken."

"This has already happened in one of the caves. A robotic dog was sent down to get it, but while it was being retrieved, it was attacked by countless vines."

The antidote was right in front of them, yet out of reach?

"Wait."

Ye Su suddenly realized;

"Since several of these grasses have been found, it means they aren't Peerless Grade."

"Can't we just send the photos to the researchers and have them identify it?"

Guan Li's expression became more pained than if he were crying;

"We've already sent the photos over."

"And..."

"And those experts and scholars said that this is—cabbage!"

Ye Su's mouth hung open.

He looked at the grass down in the abyss, then back at Guan Li.

Finally, he helplessly spat out a single word;

"Wow!"

The mycelium spores had spread from the very beginning.

Never mind the Yunnan-Guizhou Region; it was likely that the entire Great Xia, or even half of the Eurasian continent, had been contaminated.

It was only because it hadn't developed intelligence.

Otherwise, it could have triggered a global catastrophe with a wave of its hand.

Now.

A turning point had appeared.

The natural bane that could suppress the enemy had appeared.

But.

With all the experts and scholars being deluded.

Guan Li was at a loss.

Only by taking it out and relying on its properties to wake up the experts could the crisis be completely resolved.

It could be taken out.

But the difficulty was terrifyingly high.

"Ye Su!"

Guan Li looked at Ye Su with a serious and solemn expression, saying;

"Save the world with me!"

Ye Su thought: To hell with your chuunibyou— "How about we think of another way?"

Hey, hey, hey... charging down like that would really be suicidal.

It wasn't a matter of whether to save the world or not.

It was that in this situation, it really couldn't be retrieved.

Never mind just the few of them; even if they brought in all the Professionals from the Yunnan-Guizhou temporary base camp, they probably wouldn't be able to fill this deep pit.

The group looked at each other; they had to come up with a plan.

---The people from Yuntian Club appeared in Suzhou-Hangzhou.

They had come well-prepared to kill Ye Su.

On the streets covered in mycelium.

Cruel smiles were on their faces.

Yes.

From their perspective, Suzhou-Hangzhou looked the same as always.

Soon.

They discovered 'Ye Su'!

"Captain, I've found Ye Su!"

One of the Professionals in the mercenary team shouted loudly.

This shout indeed alerted 'Ye Su'.

"You idiot!"

The team leader roared; such a loud noise had already startled 'Ye Su' awake.

But thinking of Yuntian Club's reputation and their future development.

He had no choice but to lead the charge.

Holding a Professional-exclusive weapon, he suddenly lunged forward.

He brought his blade down hard against an armored vehicle.

"So strong!"

He was greatly shocked.

When the blade struck, 'Ye Su' remained completely unmoved, while the recoil left his hands numb.

"What are you standing there for? Surround and attack him together!"

With that.

This team of Professionals began hacking away furiously at the armored vehicle.

On the other side, Li Qing.

Looking at the data on the microscope, his face lit up with joy!

Through his research, he had finally discovered the secret of the mycelium.

It turned out that the Spirit Medicine seed Ye Su had given him contained a component that inhibited its growth.

This component could be synthesized in the laboratory.

Li Qing, who was standing on the fungal carpet.

Holding a 'tattered towel' in his hand, he shouted excitedly;

"I finally found it! I finally found it!"

Upon hearing this, Black Tiger immediately rushed in.

He then hugged a pillar in wild joy.

Li Qing truly lived up to his name.

He had indeed found the right direction.

The mycelium was finally going to be dealt with!

Although Li Qing was a bit stiff at the moment, Black Tiger didn't notice such details at all...

The world.

Had gone mad!
